‏ John 20:25

We have seen the Lord ( εωρακαμεν τον κυριον ). The very language in the plural that Mary Magdalene had used (20:18) when no one believed her.

Except I shall see ( εαν μη ιδω ). Negative condition of third class with εαν and second aorist active subjunctive and so as to βαλω (from βαλλω ) "and put."

The print ( τον τυπον ). The mark or stamp made by the nails, here the original idea. Various terms as in Ac 7:44; 1Ti 4:12. Finally our "type" as in Ro 5:14. Clearly the disciples had told Thomas that they had seen the τυπον of the nails in his hands and the spear in his side.

I will not believe ( ου μη πιστευσω ). Strong refusal with ου μη (doubtful negative) and first aorist active subjunctive (or future indicative).
